Trying to figure out what the various resolutions are? This database lists all resolutions, and identifies the key action of each. We've also pulled out the overtures that made up the resolution. All are clickable so you can go directly to the page in the Convention Workbook or Today's Business that has that information in it.

We also include a score for each of the resolutions (see the information below), and include a method for you to add scoring or comments to them.

EXPLANATION OF SCORING MECHANISM

The scores for each Resolution are an attempt to predict which resolutions are likely to attract the most attention at the upcoming convention.

SCORE RANGE: 1-5, where 1 = low and 5 = high

SCORING CATEGORIES
L = Likelihood of adoption. For example, Commendation Resolutions are usually easy to pass, so would score 5.
S = Strengthens Doctrine & Practice. Is the Resolution faithful to Scripture and our Confessions? Does it entrench them?
F = Strengthens Walking in Fellowship. Does the Resolution enhance Synodical values?
P = Synod Priority. What is the priority of the Resolution for the Synod, especially with reference to S&F above?
X = Executable. Does the Resolution have a realistic goal? Can it be achieved with measurable results?

SCORE
The final score is based on weightings (see below). A low score means the Resolution is likely a pro-forma matter. A high value means it is likely to be contested.

Category Weightings
L = 10%
S = 30%
F = 25%
P = 20%
X = 15%

You may login and express your opinions on any of the resolutions. The login option is pretty basic but will be expanded in the next few weeks.

For each resolution we have included the text of the resolution, as well as any overtures or other supporting documentation that the floor committee used while developing the resolution. We've also provided a way to click through to the latest issues of Today's Business to read the actual resolution.

Note that not all overtures and other material are linked yet; we are working to fill out the database.
